Afternoon all,
Audi A2, 2000 x plate petrol 1.4SE. 149,000 miles.
Been a while since i've been on here, car has been a legend, had the old girl 10 years now from 40,000 miles and has been the best car i've ever owned.
But now it looks like i'm going to have to scrap it as I can't get to the bottom of the problem and it's not worth throwing money at it, which is a real shame as the bodywork and
interior are like new. Such a shame. The wife will not drive it now and it's freaking her out. It is bloody dangerous when it goes on the motorway.
If anyone has any ideas to save the old girl, i'm all ears.
If googled and found a few threads listing out the same problem, but no solution.
Symptoms are ...... car drives fine, then engine hesitation, then all warning lights on, low oil light beep. (oil level fine) Rev counter goes to zero. Limp mode, sometimes i can drive through it, sometimes all power goes. If I turn the ignition off and on, it sometimes clears it, but happens again.
Had the car checked for faults, only one came up, accelerator pedal, which was replaced. Still comes up with pedal fault though.
The car will run fine for a few days sometimes before reoccurring.
You guys are my last hope before the old girl goes to the scrap yard in the sky.
I could cry.
